"In that case, I'll wait a few days before I come back to Lord Taylor. ”

To Taylor's surprise, hearing the news of Lawson's departure, Allen's face was not disappointed, but a smile appeared on his face, and he immediately stood up and said goodbye.

"Mr. Levens, don't forget those thirty wagons of leather. ”

Seeing that Alan was in a hurry to leave and seemed to have forgotten about the deal that had just been made, Taylor had to be reminded.

"Don't worry, I'll have someone deliver the leather goods to the adults when I get back. ”

Alan smiled, seemingly in a good mood.

"Brother-in-law, what did you gain from this trip?"

As soon as Alan returned to the hotel, Steven greeted him and asked.

"Yes, and it's a big takeaway. Everyone packed their bags, and we went out of town immediately, and we talked about something on the way. ”

There is an official road to the south in Lua, which first goes south, then southwest, stretching for hundreds of miles, until it leads to the city of Ibu, and then south to the Congo Pass, which is considered to have entered the territory of the Holy See. Because it connects the Papal States and the land-rich eastern Higg, this is one of the most important commercial routes on the continent, merchants from the north can send the products of the north to the Papal States through this channel, and merchants from the south can also bring the specialties of the south to the north through this channel, but five years ago, the Bauhinia War had not yet begun, when the relationship between the Holy See and Higg was tense, Higg had blocked this passage, but with the defeat of Higg, this passage was reopened, but then there was the Sigg civil strife, the entire eastern Hig was tormented in the war, and Lua City became the nest of the rebels, and under its influence this passage became idle again。 Later, the Higg civil strife was pacified, but the rebels turned into horse bandits occasionally still harassed this trade route, and some merchants preferred to take a long detour rather than go here in order to avoid risks, until the Bols horse bandits were pacified, this trade route was considered to have regained its prosperity in the past, and with the deepening of the Holy See's involvement in Higg's affairs, this trade route became more and more important, and the convoy of people and horses came and went almost endlessly.

Today, on the trade route, two hundred miles south of Lua City, a large procession was ushered in, consisting mainly of cavalry, with several carriages mixed in between.

The formation of this group was much more neat than that of ordinary caravans, and there were five hundred knights, all of them tall horses, armed with spears, dressed in white robes, and most notably with a red cross embroidered on the chest of their white robes. However, if you look closely, you will find that there are subtle differences in the clothing of these knights, with the cross on the white robe of the knight on the front half being smaller, and the cross on the white robe of the knight at the back being larger.

Seeing the cross on the white robe, the pedestrians on the road will automatically give way from a distance, because everyone knows that there is only one force that dares to use the cross symbol in this land, and that is the Holy See. However, it was a non-war period, and even the bandits had been lifted, and it was obviously not trivial that the characters who still needed to be protected by 500 men and horses, so when the passers-by passed by the procession, they couldn't help but cast curious glances at the carriages in the middle, wanting to see who was riding in the carriages.

The carriage in the center was nothing special except that it was larger than an ordinary carriage and was pulled by four healthy horses, the body of the carriage was painted black, and the curtains inside the carriage were so tightly closed that it was impossible to see who was sitting inside. There were also some priests in white robes accompanying the carriage, which showed that the people in the carriage must have been high-ranking clergy in the Holy See, otherwise it would not have been possible to send priests and cavalry to accompany them at the same time.

Who on earth needs so much cavalry protection?

Pedestrians can only speculate with their imaginations, but no matter who the passenger in the car is, the identity of this person is not trivial.

On the two horses in front of the carriage sat two knights, who did not hold spears in their hands, but both wore long swords with ornate sheaths around their waists, showing that they were different from other knights.

"Lord Turner, it's been a long journey, and it's been a hard one. ”

A knight with a scar on his face said with a smile on his face.

"You're welcome, Captain Lawson. Now that the road from Winston to Lua City is very smooth, and the weather is just right this season, this mission is not much different from the trip, which can be regarded as an idle trip. ”

The other knight said with a blank face, he was obviously the person in charge of this escort mission, and the head of Lawson was naturally the deputy head of the escort group of the Lua Church, that is, one of the enemies that Alan was looking for. He had come here to lead the escort to meet the important men that Captain Turner was guarding.

And this Master Turner is none other than the senior swordsman who led the way when Alan and Elvis rescued Wanda together in the Cyclops residence, when Turner and his men were trapped in the cave by Allen using the Cyclops magic, but with the Cyclops' burrowing ability, they escaped the next day, but Alan and they had already taken the spaceship south, and he looked around and found no trace of Allen and others, so he could only return to Viston with his men and return to Bishop Garcia who had returned from the raid on Las Bell。 Although Turner made Garcia a little unhappy because he let Wanda and Elvis go, and even reprimanded him, Turner was Garcia's escort for many years after all, and he had always been loyal to him, and he was considered a cronie among his cronies, and Garcia did not punish him, but suppressed the matter. Although the one-sided war that ensued made the Holy See realize that it was too early for him to rejoice, no one, including Turner himself, could have imagined that the person who saved the World Tree and turned the tide of the war would be Allen, who had slipped out of their hands at that time. So instead of being held accountable, Turner was recommended by Garcia to become a Templar. It was for this reason that Garcia recommended him again when this important escort mission required the Templars to lead the team in person.

Because Turner and Lawson were both Church guards before, although they didn't have any deep friendships, they had dealt with each other in Winston and were not strangers to each other, so they chatted without any guilt as soon as they met, but now Turner's identity has become a Templar, and his status is higher than that of the deputy head of the Lua Church Guard, so Lawson uses a subordinate tone to a superior.

"Lord Turner is too modest, I don't know how many people in the Knights have squeezed their heads to fight for this escort mission, but in the end it fell into the hands of adults, I believe that this time I will go back to the official position of the adults will definitely be promoted again. ”

Captain Lawson smiled and complimented.

"Where is it so easy for Captain Lawson to think. ”

Captain Turner shook the reins from his hand, corrected the direction of the horse, and shook his head.
